Steelers WR Antonio Brown has chance to make MVP history

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is getting growing MVP buzz after an impressive performance against the Baltimore
Ravens to clinch the AFC North on Sunday night.

Brown caught 11 passes for 213 yards in a 39-38 victory and now has 99 receptions for 1,509 yards on the season. He’s on pace
to catch 122 passes for 1,858 yards and that could be enough to make him the first wide receiver to win the league’s most
valuable player award since the Associated Press began awarding it in 1957.

In fact, only three players who don’t play either running back or quarterback have won the award in its history, so Brown
even being in the conversation puts him in truly elite company. And his teammates would argue there’s never been a wide receiver
more deserving.

Brown will have his biggest stage on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS against the New England Patriots. And one could argue that
he and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady are the two best MVP candidates after Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz tore
his ACL on Sunday.

So, with another big game and a Steelers win, Brown could be set to make history as the first player at his position to be
named Most Valuable Player.
